Another Hunky Hero

OK people. I missed my blog last Thursday. I had to go out of town for a week. I told myself I could write/post the blog form where I was staying. I’ve been here three days and I’m either so busy or so tired I just didn’t get to it.

I’m having a hard time coming up with anything to write about…so I guess I will just have to post some pictures.

This is Andrew McLaren. A before picture…when he was just a Marine. Yeah right. Nobody is just a Marine.

Andrew was born in Staten Island on July 24, 1980. He was fast becoming a successful model and actor when he put his career on hold to join the Marine Corps. He soon became part of a new military group called the Anti-Terrorism Battalion in Iraq. After years of extended service, he received an honorable discharge as

He was hired as a cop in New York, but then had the opportunity to try out for Blackwater and was accepted. Andrew ended up going to Baghdad guarding President Bush, John McCain, John Edwards and John Kerry. He participated in dozens of clandestine missions for the U.S Government.

Andrew came home to his two young sons and a wife who had left him. He decided to pursue acting and modeling again and was cast the film Battle for Haditha in the 2007. That film stared former Marines in leading roles, and is a reconstruction of two days in November 2005 when American Marines took revenge on the civilian population of an Iraqi town after the death of a comrade in a roadside bomb incident.

Andrew went on to co-host the Discovery Channel’s series Weaponizers. Then in August 2012, he appeared as an operative on Stars Earn Stripes were former and current military and law enforcement members are paired with celebrities to coach them through missions that are inspired by real military exercises. The competitors play to earn cash for a military, veterans or service related charity of their choice.

Andrew says, “I hope to use my notoriety to help people that are less fortunate than me.” With that he is soon releasing the biographical book “American Mercenary,” about his time working for Blackwater USA. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the families of his friends killed in action.
